Name: Rosalind Binks
Comment: I'm the little girl in the middle - that is a 1950s carnival float for Barnett's - my father Joe Barnett's business. Kathleen (with the guitar) was my father's secretary and Cllr Bill Hayton's sister-in-law.

Name: Bill Hayton
Comment: Yes, my sister-in-law Kathleen Hayton née Chapman with the guitar and I think Mrs Barnett in the back.

Name: Kevin Fright

I found this advert in the ‘East Kent Times & Mail’ dated 29th June 1956:

I absolutely loved Barnett's. From the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s I built up a record collection solely from 15 Queen Street.
I now put out a music podcast, playing only stuff from my own record collection and Barnett's gets several mentions. I believed Rosalyn worked in the shop after school and allowed me to go through the deleted records at a knock-down price!. Find me and Barnett's at:

Try episodes 5, 6, 17 and soon to be released 48 for mentions and illustrations of 15 Queen Street Ramsgate.
